RH Blake’s Modern Industrial Marketer (MIM) Connection | Virtual Network
Industrial Marketers: Could An Hour A Month Change Your Trajectory?
“What’s working for your other industrial and manufacturing clients?” is something we hear often. The challenge for many industrial marketers is that they don’t have the luxury of a large marketing team they can bounce ideas off of; for most, you’re it when it comes to brainstorming ideas, learning best-practices, uncovering valuable technologies and making decisions.
But, what if you could invest an hour a month with like-minded, forward-thinking industrial marketers – others who are on a similar journey and facing the same challenges?
We’re inviting you to join RH Blake’s MIM Virtual Network – a monthly meeting of industrial marketers (8 max per group) who openly discuss their marketing challenges, and collectively assist each other to meet those challenges.
This group supports YOU. Think of it as part learning, part coaching (some counseling), and a whole lot of accountability to help you become a more effective industrial marketer.

What is an Industrial Marketer?
In its simplest definition, industrial marketing is B2B marketing and is responsible for marketing industrial-focused products, services and offerings from one business to another.
Your First 90 Days as an Industrial Marketer
As an industrial marketer in a new role, your first 90 days on the job can be summed up as proactive strategic planning. Gathering input from all sectors, evaluating needs, prioritizing weaknesses and rolling out action plans are all key aspects of your early days of strategizing.
In understanding your market, you will be thinking about how to present your target customers with the right offerings. You will be building an industrial marketing program that effectively draws in customers by identifying their needs and designing a strategy to provide the best offerings for those needs.
Long term, your goal is to drive sustainable success with each company, so every step you take in your first 90 days as an industrial marketer should pave the way for that success.
Days 1-30
Your first 30 days will be spent evaluating the current marketing program, internalizing current branding and refining as needed, acclimatizing with your marketing team, and developing a deep understanding of your target market and current customer base. Look for ways to partner with other departments to utilize their expertise in defining your market and customer base.
Days 31-60
Your focus on the next 30 days will be on honing the marketing program to become a more effective strategy to reach your customers. This is the nuts and bolts work of examining technology for ease of use, identifying strengths and weaknesses of your team, and establishing a workable budget.
Days 61-90
It’s time to put your plan into action. Keep your focus on the best targets for return on investment (ROI) and go after them first. Make sure you or your team track the results so you know what works and what doesn’t. It’s good to develop a system of review so you can revise your strategy as you go. As a bonus, it will make reporting to your supervisor even easier.
